Bloomin' establishment!

Boris Johnson faces Brexit bill defeat at pivotal moment
Boris Johnson’s plan to flout international law over Brexit is set to be blocked by the House of Lords next month, throwing up an incendiary early test of relations with Joe Biden if he wins next week’s US election.
Mr Biden has warned that Mr Johnson’s UK internal market bill would undermine the Northern Ireland peace process and that he would never sign a trade deal with the UK unless key clauses in the bill were removed. Members of parliament’s upper house are expected to oblige Mr Biden by voting overwhelmingly to throw out six clauses from the bill, which ministers have admitted will breach Britain’s withdrawal treaty, signed last year with the EU.
